In our home school co-op, Little Spirit Garden, we made leaf and flower presses. At one of our gatherings, we cut the wood, at another meeting the kids used hand drills to experience drilling the holes. Shanon and I finished with a power drill. At home, the kids sanded the wood, experiencing the wood grain and grit of the paper and how they could smooth the surfaces. At yet another meeting they waxed their wood pieces with beeswax polish.
Our trip to Avalon, posted earlier, gave them the leaves they then pressed and will soon use for their next project.
Now, while you can use these things for both flowers and leaves... they can also be...
....parking garages and a heliport.
Pretty awesome. :)
